- Fold in the chocolate chunks or chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.
6. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with moist crumbs (not raw batter).
